ActionScript 3.0 :: Scroll Dynamic Text From External TXT File
Sep 17, 2009
I had some dynamic text with a scroll bar and it was working fine. Then I decided to use HTML formatting and bring it in through an external .txt file using the following code:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
ContactText.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata;
} myLoadVars.load("ContactText.txt");
The text is loading fine except that my scrollbar has now disappeared and you can only see the first few lines of text.
I like to know an easy way to create a text autoscroll (vertical) that worked when the text was loaded from another text file. it can use for news/site update. see the attachment.
Is there any way that can I scroll text from an external .txt file BUT to include links IN the text that will make an action to be performed?
I mean... loading external text that by clicking on a word or phrase an onRelease action can be assigned to it.
an example I've seen is in tobymac.com in the news menu , the scrapbook section. the text is loaded from external file and it have an action. It works just as any button in flash
I have a dynamic text field that displays text from an external file. The text file has lists of text such as a1=(text here)&w1=(text here)& etcI want to be able to make a button so that will add one to the word count, such as, a button that says "Next" and when i do that, it loads the text string A2, when i click it again, it loads A3
I cant load and external text file into my dynamic text box...when i trace the loaded var it can be found, but when it's loaded inside the text box, the value that appears is really strange.i tried to load the vars into the MC and on a level, the result is the same, it can be traced but does not appear correctly on the textbox..the code i used is here..i made a text box with about_us instance name, loaded the variables and tried to load my text inside it by setting the text property of the textbox but as u will see...
I have a dynamic text box with text imported from an external .txt file and I'm trying to add a scrollbar using the scrollbar component. The scrollbar works fine if I simply paste the text into the box, but does not work when pulling the HTML formatted text from the .txt fileETA: Here is my script:
im currently making a quiz with different questions and im trying to link the questions dynamix text to a xml or txt file heres an example for one question:
on my answer timeline i have for the buttons (one frame per question):
I have a content area with dynamic text (title and detail) that changes depending what button a user is rolling over, and i want this text to load from an external file. I have 26 buttons total, so i need 26 different titles and 26 different details to load.
I have looked around and the only solution with the loadvars technique involves creating 26 separate .txt files and loading them all in, then calling them as needed. This seems like a big waste of CPU cycles and time creating each file.
Is there an easier way to go about tackling this? Ideal would be having all the text in 1 file, and calling each identified title and detail as needed.
I'm trying to load an external html file into a dynamic text field. The dynamic text field has html display enabled. The html file contains a list of links in <a> tags, and nothing more. The dynamic text field is called 'dynamictext', and I've tried:
I've had a Flash website up and running for about a year which includes an external text file linked to a dynamic text field.
Everything worked well until I recently added content to the external text file.
Suddenly, the file won't load in flash.
If I play around and cut a line here or there, it sometimes loads. Sometimes not. Sometimes it looks like there might be a character limit. Sometimes it looks like flash might be having a problem with certain characters.
So my questions are:
1.) Does Flash have a limit on the amount of characters that can be displayed in a dynamic field.
I have combed the Web and I can't seem to find the answer. All I want to do is display some html-formatted text, located within an external XML file, in a dynamic text field in Flash CS3.
I don't have any code to supply because at this point the only thing I'm trying to display in the text field is "<b>This</b> is a <a href="http://www.google.com">test</a>." For this hypothetical example, I could call the text field myTextField. I just need to know how to format the AS3 code to get the XML to display inside myTextField.
I have a library MovieClip the I am putting into the Scroll Pane. Inside this MovieClip is a Dynamic Text field that I fill with data. I have the ScrollPane on my stage and have used the source, refreshPain and update to try and get the new information from the dynamic text field into the Scroll Pain. To no avail all I get is the orginal text that was in the box when it started.
Im supposed to make a marquee that has curved dynamic text scrolling through it. I used the displacement map filter for this and it almost works. the only problem is that when the dynamic text field gets to a certain x position, the filter stalls, but the text continues to scroll. Im really at a loss. heres what I got so far: [URL]
There's a scroll bar that controls the dynamic text, but the bar somehow blocks before it reaches the end (bottom). I don't want to make the bar bigger because that way scrolls very very fast. So I want to figure out the issue so I can make the bar as long as I want, according to the quantity of text, to scroll correctly.
I got a problem with the following code: Code: var mouseListener:Object = new Object(); mouseListener.onMouseWheel = function(delta) { XmlItems.content_txt._y += delta; } Mouse.addListener(mouseListener); It works great although it doesn't stop when the text finishes, it just keep scrolling.
How can I replace text loaded from an external file with text from another external file? Using setInterval and calling the .load from a function or something? In the example below I'm calling an external text file, could this also work with an .xml file with cycling through the children?
I've created a dynamic text box with buttons to scroll the text up and down. I'm not using the component that comes in flash mx. If I hard code text into the box, my scrolling functionality works. Now I've tried to take it a step further and load the text from an external .txt file using the following code:
loadText = new LoadVars(); loadText.onLoad = function(success) { if (success) {

I have a dynamic text box called logtxt. I add text to this whenever i click on my box object.(this works fine) I have a UIScrollBar attached to the text box(still works). But I need it to automatically scroll to the bottom whenever I add text.
I have just used the Object-Oriented Scrollbar: Part 1 tutorial which is great however I want to scroll my dynamic text field and I am not sure what I need to change to this to make it work
I have a dynamic text content which displays content read from an XML. I have used the UI Component Scroll bar to scroll through content longer than the text field area. To use it so as to scroll as per the content size the control is sent to another frame so as to get refreshed. How ever the scroll appears default at the text area even when there is no need of one.
My application has three frames. on the first frame:
initially at start of the program:
scroller._visible = false; ( scroller is the instance name for the UI Component scroll )
after the words to display on the text area are extracted from the XML into meaning_txt following is the action provided:
I need to be able to list a bunch of parts and their attributes in a manner that is readable and dynamic. This is what I mean. I would like to display something like this in the end:
Code: QTY SKU DESCRIPTION COST 1 abcd This is a part 100
I am looking to emulate the same text scroller on the Internet Tiny Awards site. They have a text scroll box that scrolls at an expontential speed rather than a static one speed.
I have a textbox that dynamically loads from a txt file. I'm trying to have the text scroll on its own... kindof like movie credits. The problem that I'm running into is that it appears choppy when it scrolls line by line. How would I make it smooth scroll without any user interaction?
